I am fixing my pine+ssl hack to seed the PRNG. My development platform is FreeBSD, so I never noticed a problem, since it has a /dev/random. I plan on doing something like a 'ls /' and sending that into the PRNG along with the time, pid, ppid, uid and any other metrics I can get my hands on, but this seems like a job that (optionally, of course) should be consolidated -- or do we want every program to seed the PRNG a different way? :-) ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
